Just One More Day

Do you remember that job you applied to
They called today to schedule an interview
I didn't know what to say I had no clue
Wanting to protect the memory I have of you
So I said you took another job and had to move

On the radio was playing your favorite song
On my face was a smile and a tear ran along
Wish I had some more time you were way too young
Things would go your own way before too long
Just one more day you had to hold on

I'm sorry that I failed you
Not strong enough to support you
Wish I had just one more day
To tell you things I should have said
Just one more day to make a change

I see you everywhere yet you were blind
Had a way about you and touched so many lives
It would hurt you to see what you left behind
You chose your path without so much as a goodbye
Did I mean so little to your life

All those words you spoke
Haunt me like a ghost
Wish I had just one more day
To correct all my mistakes
Would give everything for just one more day.
